It's... It's complicated, and I'm still not certain I understand very well myself, but. I don't think she's completely bound to Estinien, no. Or at least... She didn't used to be?
[He sounds very tired, and a little exasperated. These are things he's been trying to understand for months now and he REALLY wishes he had firmer answers to share with people.]
Perhaps their fusion changed something, when they formed the Sanctifier. I don't know. I just know that she has touched the souls of Aions other than Estinien, and has readily exerted her influence on them regardless of distance. If she truly dwells primarily within his soul... Then she took residence there of her own accord, and presumably she could have left at any time as well. She just... Seems to have a fixation upon him... It's not something that Estinien or any of the rest of us chose.
